Northeastern Fair Food, Culture, and Market Experience

• The Northeastern Fair is one reason to venture beyond the popular South Zone of Rio. Located in the traditional neighbourhood of São Cristóvão, historically home to the Imperial Family, the fair draws hundreds of thousands of visitors every month with its array of foods, handcrafts, gifts, and other traditional Brazilian wares.
• Discover unique souvenirs or even holistic medicines, such as the mysterious garrafadas, rumoured to cure you of any malady!
• The large pavilion, originally used for exhibitions and special events, was recently renamed the Centro Luiz Gonzaga de Tradições Nordestinas and now houses one of the most interesting and bargain-friendly markets in Rio.
• If you're unable to make it to the more remote northeastern region, you'll find a good approximation here, with regional food, singing and dancing, and the lively culture that Rio is known for.
